Are you a fiction writer? Do you have a microphone? Now’s your chance to share your stories with thousands of hungry listeners…

Create Twilight Histories Shows

The Twilight Histories is seeking an experienced writer/podcaster to join our team.

You will write stories that takes place in the Twilight Histories universe. Your worlds could be ancient, futuristic, or something entirely of your own invention. There are no limitations. This is science fiction, so the more creative the better.

How it Works

You’ll need to own a quality microphone. Record your script with your own voice and edit your audio. You’ll be given suggestions for music and sound effects, though you are encouraged to develop your own signature style. You’ll also have Jordan as a resource and you can ask for help anytime as you get used to the process.

The commitment is to create one or two 30 minute shows each month (roughly 4000 words each). These could include a free public show and/or a show behind a pay wall in the members area.

You Get Paid

The first show you create will be a trial and you will be paid the full rate for it. If it sounds like a good fit, we will continue and you will be paid for your future shows. The rate is $200 for each 30 minute show. The rate is the same for both public and members area shows. If each month you produce both, you will be paid $400 for your work that month.

Audience

The Twilight Histories has an amazing fan base. These dedicated listeners want to be carried to a different world, and when you deliver on that, they’ll love you for it. They’re hungry for your stories. Look what people are saying about the show…

…to come up with these scenarios is simply amazing, and then the delivery makes it that much better.
